Israel Occupation of Gaza and the West Bank is suddenly a good thing, or
at least that is what can be inferred from the behavior of
Egypt andJordan !!

These two Arab countries are lamenting Israeli withdrawal from
Gaza and the West Bank ??
Ah but with a qualifier, it is only the unilateral withdrawal that is really
the problem?

Each cites the havoc currently created for
Egypt by
Israel s departure from
Gaza , or the havoc that could potentially be created for
Jordan by
Israel s departure from the
West Bank if it is done
unilaterally?

What is the significance attached to unilateral by these two Arab
states in this context? Do
Egypt and
Jordan feel that all of a sudden if the PA
Chairman is party to the withdrawal in a final status and peace agreement, it
will suddenly make all the difference, or are they really suggesting forIsrael to remain in the territories,
maybe indefinitely? Will all havoc and anarchy cease, because the PA Chairman
inks the deal?

Where is the ultimate responsibility lie, in the hands of the
Palestinians or in
Israel policing of the occupied
territories? I am sorry I dont see it, please help me I am still confused!!

We advocated for the right things for
Israel
to do, and we ended up dislocating communities of Jews from their established
homes, only to read this lament and the urging to wait some more. Are these Arab
countries willing to speak up for
Israel internationally and not
condemn the occupation for its salutary effects on their countries? Or at
least denounce terrorism and suicide attacks in the open and especially in
Arabic and for the Arabic media, and not in English only and for the
international media? Well, short of that, whats in it for
Israel
at this point beyond the head and heart aches?
